Research Activities

In the past year, Dr. Henry has worked with R. Mark Richardson, MD, PhD, in creating a DBS database. After several trials they have settled on a smooth methodology of storing data for efficient research. Furthermore, Dr. Henry is co-supervising a student working on a project with the DBS data that will yield clinically and scientifically important findings regarding neurocognitive and psychiatric changes in patients with movement disorders. Drs. Henry and Richardson are currently following a similar path in establishing an epilepsy database. Along the same lines, Dr. Henry has built a Chiari database and the initial fruits of this are on target for submission in novel peer-reviewed publications in the fall/winter of 2018-19.
